Its also the ability to sacrifice ourselves for another, even when they are unknown to us.
The pictures of firemen rushing into the twin towers knowing they most likely would not make it out, comes to mind.
To be human also is the ability to create music that brings you to tears, and art that leaves you speechless.. Now, I am not talking about crap rap, or 'modern' art.
I am talking Raphael, Monet, Renoir, DaVinci, Michelangelo.
Think Beethovan, Bach, Gershwin, and yes, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
this is not a complete list, just a sampling. The list is endless. Unfortunately, we live in a time when crap is accepted and celebrated as "art" and obscentities as "music"
To be "human" is to bring out the best in ourselves, and others.
We are not a "cancer" or "holy children"
We are not the same as animals.
We , most of us, strive daily to do right, and we sometimes forget that by keeping silent, and accepting what we know is wrong, we condone the wrongdo-ers.
